What customers say

Know before you buy
The seat height is 26.5 inches, which is standard for counter-height tables and islands that typically measure between 34 and 36 inches high.
Top-grain leather is durable, but because it features a raw edge, it is best to wipe away spills immediately with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners to preserve the natural texture and finish of the hide.
Yes, the stool is constructed from solid Nettlewood, providing a sturdy frame. It has a weight capacity of 250 lbs, making it suitable for regular, everyday use in a kitchen or bar area.
For optimal comfort, we recommend leaving 9 to 12 inches of space between the top of the stool seat and the underside of your counter. This ensures enough legroom for most users.
The flared back legs provide a distinct aesthetic and added stability, but they do create a wider footprint than a straight-legged stool. With an overall depth of 23.5 inches, ensure you have enough clearance behind the stool to accommodate the angle of the legs.
